Unpopular opinion: those fancy ergonomic keyboards are a waste of money for most people

I bought a $180 split keyboard 6 months ago because everyone online swore it would fix my wrist pain. After 3 weeks of trying to retrain my muscle memory, my typing speed dropped from 80 wpm to like 35. I went back to my old $20 Dell keyboard and my wrists feel fine as long as I take breaks every hour. Has anyone else found that the hype around ergonomic gear is just not worth the hassle?

Half the battle is just remembering to take breaks, not dropping cash on gear.
